(Arthur A. Levine Books, 2014)
An almost 13-year-old named Ruth, who likes to skateboard, write poetry (and publishes it on her Tumblr), and help make movies with her best friend has always known she was adopted. Her parents adopted her as a newborn and she was in the NICU in New York. She had a heart transplant when she was just a month old. One day, she discovers, in the internet, a girl in England who looks exactly like her! So she emails Ruby. The entire book is told mainly through email, texts, poetry, and some of Jedgar and Ruth's "Shorca!" scripts.
I recommend this book for 10 to 12 year olds in particuar. It deals with what it means to be a friend, a sister, a child, and finding forgiveness.
